well maybe you could take a visit tooooooo.... Naica! it's a crystal cave, with really big gypsum crystals.
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/.....crystals-cave/
I know it's kind of old but I saw a documentary on it last night and it was pretty cool, according to discovery channel it was filled with really hot, gypsum saturated water, so the crystals grew at about 16mm/year according these tests they did. So, that makes them pretty old. Er, some screencaps from the documentary are here I think: http://www.seanbuckley.ca/blog/2007.....nts-in-mexico/ ... Oh yeah, and the conditions inside that cave are pretty cool, its 100% humidity and over 40 degrees Celsius.
Also there was a documentary on Moebius's art at the same time, I couldn't decide what to watch :o

Also I've noticed Steampunk is becoming pretty hyped these days, yah?
